Key program elements

Talent Management

A key takeaway: Talent is integral to an organization’s success. Your company’s future depends upon the people you can attract and retain. So, what traits and skills matter most? How can you optimize the effectiveness of people and teams? What are the right ways to lead people? How can you identify and develop intrapreneurs? You will learn the answers to these questions and gain insights into other talent management issues that are critical to ensuring your company’s success.

Digitalization and New Technologies

Many of the things that sound like science-fiction to us now will become a reality at some point during the lives of today’s youth. Widespread hyper-connectivity and new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, machine learning and AI, robotics, self-driving cars, blockchain, additive manufacturing, and IoT are the catalysts fueling disruption. These are new topics for many corporate innovation teams and they need to excel here to become valuable for their company. You will get an introduction to what matters today and you will experience how some of the best companies use and work with the latest technology trends and discover how you can apply them at home to create new opportunities for your own business.

Transformational Leadership

Leaders today and in the future will be forced to navigate in a landscape of high-uncertainty. There are two key elements for success in such a volatile environment. First, you must be able to attract and retain the best talent possible. And, you must utilize cutting-edge technologies to create groundbreaking products and services that outrun and outplay those of your competitors (both known and unknown).

Never has it been more challenging, nor more intellectually stimulating, to be a business leader than it is today. Not everyone is up for the challenge, and many will be replaced in the coming years. So, the question is: Are you up for it?
